Dutch Baby Pancakes with Lemon Curd and Blueberries
These Dutch Baby Pancakes combine a delicate batter of eggs, flour, milk, and lemon zest baked until puffed and golden. The inclusion of lemon zest adds bright citrus notes while blueberries and lemon curd provide fresh, fruity toppings. Baked in butter-lined skillets, the pancakes have a crisp edge and tender center, making them an elegant breakfast or brunch dish with a balance of sweet, tart, and buttery flavors.

- ½ cup all-purpose flour

- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons lemon 1 small lemon, finely grated zest
- Pinch kosher salt

- Preheat oven to 425º F (220ºC)
- Add eggs, flour, milk, sugar, vanilla, salt and lemon zest together into a blender and blend until smooth.
- Place butter in heavy skillets (or a single skillet) and place in the oven until butter has melted (just a few minutes, don’t wander off).
